One of our last trips to Toledo, Ohio

Some of you know that my dad and step mom are moving to Quincy, Michigan at the end of summer...so we went up there to hit some of our favorite spots! We are also going up there over Labor Day to visit for the last time (well...Uncle Matt and Uncle Walter will still be there)...but in September we will be see the Purdue vs. Toledo football game. Ethan and Evan are going to their first game! :)

Anyways we had a good time. We went to the Toledo Zoo, and got some take out from Tony Packo's...the boys weren't in "dinner out" moods...or should I say mom and dad weren't! :) We had a lot of fun! :)

We went to the zoo to especially see this polar bear cub...I think he is about 8 months old now! :)

Uncle Matt wanted to make sure that Ethan saw the octopus! Yuck! :)

This picture has more meaning that you think. My brother and I were both born in Toledo, and both had our pictures taken on this elephant statue at the zoo. Also my dad as a child had his picture taken on this elephant!

Evan on the "family" elephant...for once he wouldn't look at the camera...too much sun in his eyes!

Uncle Matt and Ethan on the train...this train is TONS nicer than Indy's train...what is

up with it?????

Ethan with Paw Gary on the carousel. He sure loves zebras!!! He kept telling people that he rode a zebra...I had to let them know that I wasn't real. :)

Evan having a blast on the carousel!!!!

When we left Sunday we went to Warsaw to wish Grandpa Dave a HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! We had a nice dinner, then had some homemade ice cream and some of Great-Grandma Betty's homemade Texas sheet cake! Wow. Then Ethan, Evan and Matt all got in the pool for awhile. Before we left Mimi and Paw showed us a new hobby of theirs....remote control boats! Matt and I had a good time playing with those on their pond...had some close calls! :) On the way out we saw a hot air balloon...you can imagine ETHAN!!!! Another busy weekend!
